Save 50% OFF Forest Kingdom Saga By Simon R. Green https://loom.ly/Qe8_i10 Rupert didn't want to be a prince. And he certainly never asked to be the second son of a royal line that really didn't need a spare. So he was sent out to slay a dragon and prove himselfโ€”a quest straight out of legend

IT IS HERE! THERE IS MUCH SQUEEING BEING DONE IN THE HOUSE*

*Also, the next one in the franchise is due in imminently so the squeeing is slightly lessened by the need to get "Don't Touch That Dial" in ...out in 2027 if all goes well.

Meanwhile, hope you love having your program being interrupted!

The cover of PASHA THE STORM showing the main character, Pasha, an older woman with gray curly hair, a layered outfit, and a long gun in her hand as she falls into the ocean. She controls magic in her left hand, and three water-dogs surround her.

in case you haven't seen the cover of PASHA THE STORM we've got a butchy older lesbian with tattoos, a gun, and magic so you have NOTHING to complain about!!

Look, I try not to be swayed by petty contests like sales charts, but it's always nice to pop in there in during pre-order week and find myself squeezed between Brandon Sanderson and Sarah J. Maas, no matter how fleeting. (Thanks, preorderers, you're swell.)

Listen to a Graphic Audio Sample from Rylee Adamson By Shannon Mayer. https://loom.ly/CSI_SdM When a hunt for a missing child starts to spin out of control, help comes from a most unexpected direction. One that is dangerously dark, brooding and doesnโ€™t know a thing about the supernatural.
